Block Guards.

Question for anyone out there. At what point would block gaurds be needed?

they hold the tops of your cylinders from moving under heavyload... like a high boost application or such...

Yeah, I know what they do. But when would you determin that they are needed?

mostly turbo applications, maybe nitrous applicatoins as well.

If you're over 300hp, then you should get one.

If your rebuilding your motor and trying to get some good horsepower out of it, while you have the head off put one in there...there only like $100 or so....it would be easier to put in while its apart than add it in later...

Yeah. Well, that one is $80, so I was kind of curious if it is worth it to slap in, while the block is at the machine shop. Or forget about it.

Well if there only $80 id do it...especially if your building for power...when i build my next motor, im gonna get one...

where can I pick one up, I may be interested in one for my first rebuilt/modded engine. I've never seen one before in any of the catalogs I've looked through
